TH: From the end of the Swampy Lakes Sno-Park
View of Swampy Lakes Sno-Park TH parking circle, go on the left (western) trail, then bear left to remain on Swampy-Dutchman Tr40 and ascend to the Flagline Tie Tr41.1 2.7mi intersection on the right. This completes the first of three increasingly challenging (but moderate) ascents. Descend and pass a Cascades trail connector at 3.5mi on the left, then gradually ascend alongside Cascade Hwy before dropping into the Dutchman Flat TH.

7.1mi: Cross the Dutchman Flat
View of the Mount Bachelor Dutchman Flat TH parking area and begin the Flagline Access Tr40.1 (western flank of Tumalo) ascent, trying not to be distracted by the many side trails along the way to Flagline Tr41. The Mount Bachelor XC Ski area consists of a maze of trails. The climb is more intense than the first two ascents, but still reasonably moderate.

9.2mi: Go right onto Flagline Tr41 and ascend the remaining 600' along the northern flank of Tumalo Mountain, to the ride summit at 10.7mi. Descend past the Flagline Tie Tr41.1 intersection on the right at 13.5mi, to the Swampy Lake Tr23 intersection.

14.8mi: Go right onto Swampy Lake Tr23 and return to the TH, or go left and around Swampy Lake, to Swede Ridge Tr52, then back on Swede Ridge Loop Tr8026 to the TH.
